The campaign of Sen. Roy Blunt’s Democratic opponent is calling on him to return donations from a for-profit college accused of deceiving students. Blunt should immediately return the donations and “issue an apology to Missouri students who have been ripped off by for-profit colleges while he pushed legislation to make it easier for them to prey on students,” said Abe Rakov, campaign manager for Democrat Jason Kander. Kander is trying to oust Blunt in a close race that could determine control of the U.S. Senate. An investigation by McClatchy found that Blunt, a Missouri Republican, is one of the top recipients in Congress of political contributions from the for-profit industry.
